Impact of venous drainage on regeneration of the anterior segment of right living-related liver grafts.

Abstract

The effect of additional venous reconstruction on morphologic and functional regeneration of the anterior segment of right-lobe liver grafts was compared among three groups according to graft type: right liver graft without the middle hepatic vein (MHV) or MHV tributaries (n=7), with MHV tributaries (n=25) and with the MHV (n=10). Whole graft volume (GV… (More)
